How to Prepare Your Hunting Property with a SxS or ATV

True hunters know the hunt starts long before you pull the trigger. From hauling gear to trail clearing, getting your land ready is a necessary part of the process.

It’s not just the season you prepare for, it’s the land. Think of this as the ultimate guide to hunting preparation. We'll walk you through the process with key advice about hunting land preparation and land management with a Can-Am ATV or SxS for hunting season.

Ready to make your land work for you?

By now, you know that every successful hunting season starts long before you’re out in the wilderness. It’s all about the prep: the hours you spend studying movement patterns, scouting fresh tracks, food and water sources, bedding areas, and potential stand locations.

It’s also a question of tapping into your instincts and getting a feel for the land and its inhabitants. At this stage, timing is everything, and knowing where your game is headed can make a world of difference between a long wait and a winning pursuit.

If you want to cover more ground than you would on foot, an Can-Am ATV or SxS can help you travel longer distances and take you farther into rough trails and thick brush—which can be a favorite hiding spot of big game. The deeper you go, the better your chances of success.

Clearing Trails and Opening Access

Once you’ve scouted your hunting area, the next step is opening up access, and Can-Am vehicles can simplify the process. These vehicles have the power and maneuverability to make clearing trails, moving gear, and retrieving game more efficient while giving you a better sense of how wildlife moves across your land.

• Clear obstacles: Use your ORV to remove fallen trees, clear brush, and level uneven paths with easy-on/off accessories. Equip your vehicle with a winch to pull logs or debris, carry your chainsaw securely with a LinQ holder, and use the machine’s traction and ground clearance to reach even the toughest spots.
  
• Plan and navigate: GPS and mapping features allow you to mark trails and hunting spots, helping you plan your routes and track changes.
• Maintain accessibility: Regular maintenance keeps your trails accessible all season, letting you spend less time fixing paths and more time in the field.

Setting Up Hunting Blinds & Essential Gear

Once you’ve cleared the way for safe, accessible trails, you can shift your focus to setting up hunting blinds and getting ready for the hunt.

• Hunting Blinds: Hunting blind setup and stands can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry, because Can-Am off-road vehicles are there to help.
• Hunting Gear: For hunting gear, different models come with different cargo capacities, towing capabilities and storage solutions to fit the different needs of riders and hunters.
  

💡Plus, reaching remote or less-popular hunting areas to ultimately track down every lead is easier with an ATV or side-by-side.

Off-Road Vehicle Accessories

Setting up your hunting territory isn’t just about choosing the right spot—it’s about equipping yourself to do it efficiently. The right accessories make tasks like hauling gear, clearing paths, and organizing supplies much easier. Without them, even the best location can become a challenge.
